Nursery Ofsted

Charters Ancaster is a
"GOOD" Nursery

OFSTED INSPECTION FEBRUARY 2013

Charters Ancaster is a “GOOD"
School

Head Teacher, Mrs. Miriam Black,
was very pleased and proud to receive the confirmation
from Ofsted Inspectors earlier this week that Charters
Ancaster is indeed a “good “ school which “provides a high
quality of education” enabling “pupils to achieve well
over time in all subjects”. It continued “pupils usually
reach and exceed expectations for their age by the time
they leave the school in mathematics and science as well
as in English”. The report also said “pupils are
particularly well prepared for the next steps in their
education”. Pupils themselves told the inspectors
“work is challenging and teachers push you but you always
get a good result”.

In praising her staff Mrs Black
said “All credit goes to the dedicated team whose efforts
have resulted in many positive comments from OFSTED”
including “teachers’ strong specialist subject knowledge,
vibrant lessons and enthusiasm to motivate pupils to
become eager and successful learners”.

Early years staff were pleased to
be told “children get off to a positive start in the
Nursery and Reception classes. Learning continues as
children move around the enticing indoor and outdoor
classroom areas”.

The school was one of the first 5
schools in the country to be inspected by OFSTED under the
new and much more rigorous framework for inspecting
non-association independent schools.

Mrs Black continued “There is
always room for improvement and those responsible for the
leadership and management of the school will now endeavour
to lead the school on to become not only “good” but
“outstanding”, striving to provide an exceptional quality
of education, at an affordable cost, in all areas for
future generations.

Per Thorkildsen, Chairman of the
Governors commented “I am immensely proud to be associated
with Charters Ancaster and their team of dedicated
management and staff that make Charters Ancaster such a
joyful learning environment for the children. My
congratulations to them all for this result! We should now
aim to strive to build on this report to aim for
excellence”
